The revival of the Farmers' Insti-tute
in Liberty Township is causing
much favorable comment and much in-terest
is being manifested in the corn-ing
session of the body at the Meri-dian
Street Christian Church on next
Tuesday evening, February 14th and
Wednesday morning and afternoon,
February 15th.
The program for the institute is one
of much merit, containing entertain-ing
numbers as well as educational.
Local talent will be found interspersed
throughout the three sessions, and
since every one is acquainted with
this talent, it is needless to go into
detail concerning their offerings, but
suffice it to say that they will be up
to their usual high standard and well
worth listening to.
On the opening evening a short
playlet will be given which will be of

Some of our new books for older
girls:
Janny— Abbott. Jenny, who has
lived with Dr. John in the Canadian
woods since the death of her father,
is taken to New York to live with her
uncle and family. Her slow efforts
to make her aunt and cousins like
her are finally crowned with success
and the story ends happily.
Midsummer— Adams. An unusually
good story about an American boy
and girl who spend an interesting
summer holiday in Sweden.
Joan's Best Chum — Brazil. A
boarding school story about English
girls in an English country town.
Mystery appears in the person of a
young girl who becomes Joan's chum.
The plot is pleasantly worked out and
interesting descriptions of holidays
in the country and carnival days in
the south of France gives color to the
story.
Raquel of the Ranch Country— Mal-kus.
Raquel Daniels, daughter of a
wealthy Texan Rancher, is called home
from a fashionable Eastern Boarding
School to run the ranch while her
father and brothers are at war. She
proves to be a capable boss, and while
on a trip to Mexico to buy some or-tide,
has some exciting adventures,
including the rescue of a former
schoolmate.
Honor Girl— Macdonald. She was
an honor girl in every thing— even
when tried by the fire of the range.
Leaving her easy life with a wealthy
aunt, Elsie went to make a real home
for her father and her brothers, who
had been trying to get along in the
old home, with no woman to take
care of them. The reader gets as
much of a thrill out of Elsie's ac-complishments
as she and her family
do.

WEEKLY MEETING AGAIN
Morning When Marshal Garrett Ar

Placed in Jail at Koko-
MO.
then turned the man over to his corn-panions
and started for the negro.
No sooner had he done this than the
man started to give more trouble and
Garrett had to return to help hold
him. He was brought to town in his
Essex coupe, and lodged in the local
jail, to await the arrival of the sheriff
from Kokomo, who arrived almost at
the time the prisoner was locked up.
The prisoner presented a sickening
appearance with blood streaming oser
his face and down on his clothes, as
a result of his encounter with Garrett
and his night club. A crowd soon
gathered around the city hall to see
what was going on and groups of men
were noticed congregated on the cor-ners
for some time afterwards.
A bottle containing about a half
inch of whiskey was found by Garrett
from which Moore is supposed to have
been drinking.
Moore and the negro were first
heard of after an Essex coupe in
which they were riding, ran off the
road into a ditch just outside Koko-mo.
Jesse L Ayers, an insurance
man who makes Greentown each week
drove near the scene of the mishap
only to have a white man and negro
jump on the running board of his car.
Ayers promised to take the men to
a farm house where they could get
assistance, and as soon as they left
his car, he set sail for Greentown on
high. However the white man had
handed his card to Ayers, which was
as follows: Standard Extension Uni-versity,
134 North LaSalle Street,
Chicago, Ill., J. C. Moore, District
Superintendent.
The incident probably brought out
more excitement in Greentown than
any one incident since the arrest of
the bootleggers southwest of town a
few years ago.
Wow! I'll say those Windfall boys
did wallop the local high school net-ters
last Friday evening, but not near-ly
as bad as some had predicted and
worse than others had predicted. The
score was 40- 21.
The locals put up a nice game most
of the way, but were battling against
a smooth working team, able to hit
that old hoop from most any angle on
the floor, and having an off night in
this department themselves the visi-tors
were able to pull far ahead and
breeze in an easy winner. The locals
were fighting hard and while they did

without leaving hM address. Garrett! or every point, and best of all they I were not pulling any of that rough
stuff. They were playing clean ball.
Windfall gathered an 8- 0 lead, be-fore
the locals scored. At the half
they were leading by an overwhelm-ing
margin. Thoasecond half opened
with the locals tightening their de-fense,
and working for points out on
the court. They were missing their
shots, and after three minutes had e-lapsed
the Windfall boys started to
pile up more points.
The accuracy of the visitors on the
field shots was uncanny to say the
least. Only a very few of their tries
were wasted. Every time they shot
the crowd held back, giving them the
benefit of the doubt and feeling that
the ball was going through. On the
other hand the locals were missing
by inches only.
Windfall presented the best team
to appear on the local floor this sea-son,
and on the form shown here
should cut quite a figure in the corn-ing
sectional.
The two second teams put on the
best game of the evening, which end-ed
28- 21 for Windfall, but not with-out
a hard scrap.
Seconds at Gas City
The second team journeyed to Gas
City Saturday evening and emerged
with a well earned victory, 38- 28. The
locals were under 20- 10 at the half,
but by playing the game cooly and
fighting for every point, they pulled
to even terms at 25- 25 and continued
on their march to victory. It was a
real game of ball and the locals put
up one of the best games of the year.
The Windfall score was as follows:

The Greentown Post No. 517, Amer-ican
Legion, is sponsoring an essay
contest to be held on Wednesday, Feb.
22nd, Washington's birthday, in which
high school pupils of the three East
End high school are eligible to par-
I ticipate— the schools being Jackson,
Union and Liberty Townships.
Prizes will be awarded as follows:
First prize, $ 5.00; second prize, $ 3.00;
To the school furnishing the winning
essay, a fine wool American flag will
be awarded. The prizes are being giv-
1 en by the American Legion.
The work is being conducted under
„ the Americanization Department of
the post, and has a worthy purpose
back of it, that of making America,
American. The principals of the
three sehools are co- operating in the
contest and they will give all informa-
1 don at their command to those inter-
' ested.
The papers will be graded as fro-
' lows: 50,/ e on form, under which will
be considered punctuation, spelling,
paragraphing and neatness; 50% on
thought.
Each school will turn in the six best
papers from their school to enter the
contest, and each paper will be handled
in such a way that no one will know
who the author is or where it came
from until after they have been prop-erly
graded and the winners announc-ed.
Since the prizes are well while,
it is thought that many of the pupils
will enter the contest, and some migh-ty
fine eases, are expected by the
orreIer. , f, trrr the CO, test, the pupil must write anewers to
the following questions:
1. Who may become a citizen of the
United States?
2. What other qualifications would
you add for citizenship in the United
States?
3. What are the benefits of citizen-ship
in the United States?
4. What are the obligations of citi-zenship?
5. What is meant by checks and
balances in the United States Govern-ment?
6. Is our government a representa-tive
government? ( a) State reasons
for your answer.
' 7. Discuss briefly the MeNary-
Hanoen- Revised Agricultural bill.
8. How does the Public Service
Commission serve the people of Indi-ana?
9. What are the uses of a political
party?
10. What should be the qualifies--
tions of a voter ?
The essay will be on the subject,
" The Ideal American Citizen." The
papers are to contain between 200 and
1 250 words.
Both the above must be written on
by all contestants.
The field is broad under these sub-jects
and some new thoughts are ex-pected
to be brought out by the stud-ents
in their discussion of the various
themes and the essay subject,

The revival of the Farmers' Insti-tute
in Liberty Township is causing
much favorable comment and much in-terest
is being manifested in the corn-ing
session of the body at the Meri-dian
Street Christian Church on next
Tuesday evening, February 14th and
Wednesday morning and afternoon,
February 15th.
The program for the institute is one
of much merit, containing entertain-ing
numbers as well as educational.
Local talent will be found interspersed
throughout the three sessions, and
since every one is acquainted with
this talent, it is needless to go into
detail concerning their offerings, but
suffice it to say that they will be up
to their usual high standard and well
worth listening to.
On the opening evening a short
playlet will be given which will be of

Some of our new books for older
girls:
Janny— Abbott. Jenny, who has
lived with Dr. John in the Canadian
woods since the death of her father,
is taken to New York to live with her
uncle and family. Her slow efforts
to make her aunt and cousins like
her are finally crowned with success
and the story ends happily.
Midsummer— Adams. An unusually
good story about an American boy
and girl who spend an interesting
summer holiday in Sweden.
Joan's Best Chum — Brazil. A
boarding school story about English
girls in an English country town.
Mystery appears in the person of a
young girl who becomes Joan's chum.
The plot is pleasantly worked out and
interesting descriptions of holidays
in the country and carnival days in
the south of France gives color to the
story.
Raquel of the Ranch Country— Mal-kus.
Raquel Daniels, daughter of a
wealthy Texan Rancher, is called home
from a fashionable Eastern Boarding
School to run the ranch while her
father and brothers are at war. She
proves to be a capable boss, and while
on a trip to Mexico to buy some or-tide,
has some exciting adventures,
including the rescue of a former
schoolmate.
Honor Girl— Macdonald. She was
an honor girl in every thing— even
when tried by the fire of the range.
Leaving her easy life with a wealthy
aunt, Elsie went to make a real home
for her father and her brothers, who
had been trying to get along in the
old home, with no woman to take
care of them. The reader gets as
much of a thrill out of Elsie's ac-complishments
as she and her family
do.

WEEKLY MEETING AGAIN
Morning When Marshal Garrett Ar

Placed in Jail at Koko-
MO.
then turned the man over to his corn-panions
and started for the negro.
No sooner had he done this than the
man started to give more trouble and
Garrett had to return to help hold
him. He was brought to town in his
Essex coupe, and lodged in the local
jail, to await the arrival of the sheriff
from Kokomo, who arrived almost at
the time the prisoner was locked up.
The prisoner presented a sickening
appearance with blood streaming oser
his face and down on his clothes, as
a result of his encounter with Garrett
and his night club. A crowd soon
gathered around the city hall to see
what was going on and groups of men
were noticed congregated on the cor-ners
for some time afterwards.
A bottle containing about a half
inch of whiskey was found by Garrett
from which Moore is supposed to have
been drinking.
Moore and the negro were first
heard of after an Essex coupe in
which they were riding, ran off the
road into a ditch just outside Koko-mo.
Jesse L Ayers, an insurance
man who makes Greentown each week
drove near the scene of the mishap
only to have a white man and negro
jump on the running board of his car.
Ayers promised to take the men to
a farm house where they could get
assistance, and as soon as they left
his car, he set sail for Greentown on
high. However the white man had
handed his card to Ayers, which was
as follows: Standard Extension Uni-versity,
134 North LaSalle Street,
Chicago, Ill., J. C. Moore, District
Superintendent.
The incident probably brought out
more excitement in Greentown than
any one incident since the arrest of
the bootleggers southwest of town a
few years ago.
Wow! I'll say those Windfall boys
did wallop the local high school net-ters
last Friday evening, but not near-ly
as bad as some had predicted and
worse than others had predicted. The
score was 40- 21.
The locals put up a nice game most
of the way, but were battling against
a smooth working team, able to hit
that old hoop from most any angle on
the floor, and having an off night in
this department themselves the visi-tors
were able to pull far ahead and
breeze in an easy winner. The locals
were fighting hard and while they did

without leaving hM address. Garrett! or every point, and best of all they I were not pulling any of that rough
stuff. They were playing clean ball.
Windfall gathered an 8- 0 lead, be-fore
the locals scored. At the half
they were leading by an overwhelm-ing
margin. Thoasecond half opened
with the locals tightening their de-fense,
and working for points out on
the court. They were missing their
shots, and after three minutes had e-lapsed
the Windfall boys started to
pile up more points.
The accuracy of the visitors on the
field shots was uncanny to say the
least. Only a very few of their tries
were wasted. Every time they shot
the crowd held back, giving them the
benefit of the doubt and feeling that
the ball was going through. On the
other hand the locals were missing
by inches only.
Windfall presented the best team
to appear on the local floor this sea-son,
and on the form shown here
should cut quite a figure in the corn-ing
sectional.
The two second teams put on the
best game of the evening, which end-ed
28- 21 for Windfall, but not with-out
a hard scrap.
Seconds at Gas City
The second team journeyed to Gas
City Saturday evening and emerged
with a well earned victory, 38- 28. The
locals were under 20- 10 at the half,
but by playing the game cooly and
fighting for every point, they pulled
to even terms at 25- 25 and continued
on their march to victory. It was a
real game of ball and the locals put
up one of the best games of the year.
The Windfall score was as follows:

The Greentown Post No. 517, Amer-ican
Legion, is sponsoring an essay
contest to be held on Wednesday, Feb.
22nd, Washington's birthday, in which
high school pupils of the three East
End high school are eligible to par-
I ticipate— the schools being Jackson,
Union and Liberty Townships.
Prizes will be awarded as follows:
First prize, $ 5.00; second prize, $ 3.00;
To the school furnishing the winning
essay, a fine wool American flag will
be awarded. The prizes are being giv-
1 en by the American Legion.
The work is being conducted under
„ the Americanization Department of
the post, and has a worthy purpose
back of it, that of making America,
American. The principals of the
three sehools are co- operating in the
contest and they will give all informa-
1 don at their command to those inter-
' ested.
The papers will be graded as fro-
' lows: 50,/ e on form, under which will
be considered punctuation, spelling,
paragraphing and neatness; 50% on
thought.
Each school will turn in the six best
papers from their school to enter the
contest, and each paper will be handled
in such a way that no one will know
who the author is or where it came
from until after they have been prop-erly
graded and the winners announc-ed.
Since the prizes are well while,
it is thought that many of the pupils
will enter the contest, and some migh-ty
fine eases, are expected by the
orreIer. , f, trrr the CO, test, the pupil must write anewers to
the following questions:
1. Who may become a citizen of the
United States?
2. What other qualifications would
you add for citizenship in the United
States?
3. What are the benefits of citizen-ship
in the United States?
4. What are the obligations of citi-zenship?
5. What is meant by checks and
balances in the United States Govern-ment?
6. Is our government a representa-tive
government? ( a) State reasons
for your answer.
' 7. Discuss briefly the MeNary-
Hanoen- Revised Agricultural bill.
8. How does the Public Service
Commission serve the people of Indi-ana?
9. What are the uses of a political
party?
10. What should be the qualifies--
tions of a voter ?
The essay will be on the subject,
" The Ideal American Citizen." The
papers are to contain between 200 and
1 250 words.
Both the above must be written on
by all contestants.
The field is broad under these sub-jects
and some new thoughts are ex-pected
to be brought out by the stud-ents
in their discussion of the various
themes and the essay subject,
